Adding 1"??????

2006 SS
6" Rough Country
1.5" aal in rear
Adjustable Bilsteins up front

I want to have the truck sit level, but I'm worried the upper control arm will be at a bad angle. Before I crank the Bilsteins up front I wanted some opinons. Dont know if this was the right way to go about it, but I raised the truck up 1" with a car jack and took pics of the angles.

Thanks in advance!!

I think that looks ok. I don't think I'd go more than an inch though.
Also, nice Screw.

Thanks! Ya I didn't think the angles were too bad, considering I don't put many miles on the truck. Just wanted someone else's opinion.

With the 6'' RCX lift kit you can only add another 1''. If I remember correctly HighOn22's started a thread on this exact subject. All in all 1'' is the MAX you can add to this kit. I would strongly advise moving to Camburg's new UCA's. They aren't cheap but they will add alot of rigidity to the suspension even while at extreme angles like you will be pushing them when adding that extra 1''.

My bad 6''_isnt_enough. I'll remember it next time. This subject always pop up once in a while. I'll bookmark your thread for future reference.
